Apple CEO Steve Jobs has announced iTunes Music Store for Europe in Germany, France, and the UK at a London Music Event this morning.
Apple will offer over 700,000 songs from “The Big Five” labels, including 12,000 classic tracks, “dozens of Indies,” and exclusive tracks.

That sounds like a pretty good price to start with ( + VAT of course)
Is the iTM store down?
I think Steve is trying to make up for Rumsfeld’s “Old Europe” remark.
I think the required phrase is Woo-Hoo!!!
Cheaper than I thought it was going to be too

The happening in the London is now over.
So have to wait till october. Darn.
I wonder why they did not release that one more thing today?
What else is coming? Oh well. WWDC will tell.
Europe is apparently only 3 countries…. he could have included more. A bit like launching iTunes in New York, California and Texas.
Excellent.
C’mon Apple Australia, bring on iTMS for those of us downunder!
iPod mini seems to still be missing in action. I thought they’d announce its immediate availability in France, Germany and the UK. Oh well.
According to promotional material being sent to shops in time for today’s launch, the first European territories to get the company’s hotly awaited service will be the UK and Ireland and three Scandinavian countries Denmark, Finland and Norway.

Too right!
Gandalf,
The Guardian’s piece is a crock of shit, made up article. The iTunes Music Stre has been launched in UK, France, and Germany – with “the rest of Europe” (whatever that means) coming in October 2004.
Only 3 countries now… UK, Germany and France. This was predicted since last week. Others coming in October according to SJ. Cannot access UK store from U.S. yet. Still doesn’t seem to be up.
Just bought my first track (Flawless by George Michael)

What about f… Canada?
Signed up and ready to go !!
79p ! 79p! 79p!
HAHAHAHA !!!
It’s amazing how many people around the world are eagerley anticipating the iTMS to be available to them. This just goes to show, that if Apple could make all their products and services to people globally, that they could definately begin to be a perceived force to contend with. Apple is a relatively small company, and it’s been my long standing opinion that as a company, Apple does very well for themselves. Many analysts say their mac sales are suffering and the iPod will keep them afloat, but we’re not talking about the global PC share as whole (in which case Apple has a very small cut). We’re talking about a company’s sales, and Apple does well. If they could just offer all their products to everywhere in the EU, Asia, Australia, etc, they would have a bigger slice of the pie.
For those of you worrying about the release of iPods within Canada please don’t worry. The release is planned once the United Hates decides to invade Canada for its water (once Bush has secured the next election of course).
Invade Canada please. Imagine being paid in US$. And 20% income tax and not 55%. Just turn right at Detroit George, you can’t miss it.
That sounds like a pretty good price to start with ( + VAT of course)
The prices are VAT inclusive – what you see is what you pay.
I have half a dozen tracks already and it all seems pretty smooth – the way you expect the Apple experience to be.
you suck big ass one guy from finland
stupid dumbass eurotrash cheese-eating fancy pants
Grow up.
Tom F, which of those three countries is like Texas?
